CIarksVi||e Tobacco Market,


CLARKsvILLE, TENN, Oct. Is, 1887.
Our market showed rather less animation
this week, and prices were lower at times
except upon decided quality. Holders seem
unwilling to submit to a decline, which is
not justified by the regular questions Of future
supply and demand, and reject rather freely
when too large slice is taken off of the
price. Sales for the week will no doubt be
100 hogsheads or more, and when the ware
houses have worked off another 1000 hogs.
heads, they will no doubt get better control
of the market, and be able to feed 1t more
judiciously than now, when 1t is evident that
so many are trying to close accounts with
the old crop, so as to be prepared to make
operations in the new. "Holdfast" may be
the better dog just now-for the old stock will
show to advantage against mucn of the new
crop. The cold spell this week, porbably
drove of the crop left in the field last
week into the house, except such small
plants as were willingly abandoned.

They now have two large furniture factories,
three spoke.factories, two oundaries, wagon

"MY REDEEMER.n

There is one word full of meaning
from which we collect the truth of
sympathy. 1t is that little word of
appropriation, "My" Redeemer. Power
is shown by Gods attention to the vast;
sympathy by his condescension to the
small. 1t is not the thought of heav-
ems sympathy by which we are i'm
pressed when we gaze through the tele-
scope on the mighty world of space and
gain an idea of what is meant by inf
mite. Majesty and power are there,
but the very vastness excludes the
thought of sympathy. 1t is when we
look into the world of insignifcance
which the microscope reveals, and find
that God has gorgeously painted the
atoms of creation and exquisitely fur
nished forth all that belongs to min
utest life, that we feel that God SYM
pathizes and individualizes.
When we are told that God is the
Redeemer of the world, we know that
love dwells in the bosom of the Most
High; but if we want to know that
God feels for us individually and sep
arately, we must learn by heart this
syllable of endearment, "My Redeem
er." Child of God, if you would have
your thought of God something beyond
a cold feeling of his presence, let faith
appropriate Christ. You are as much
the object of Gods solicitude as if none
lived but yourself. He has counted the
hairs of your head. In Old Testament
language, HE has put your tears into
his bottle" He has numbered your
signs and your smiles. He has inter-
preted the desires for which you have
not found a name nor an utterance
yourself. If you have not learned to
say, my Redeemer," then just so far as
there is anything tender or affectionate
in your disposition, you will tread the
path of your pilgrimage with a darken-
ed and a lonely heart, and when the
day of trouble comes there will be none
of that triumphant elasticity which en-
abled Job to look down, as from a rock,
upon the surges which were curling
their crests Of fury at his feet, but
could only reach his bosom with their
spent spray.-Rev. r. w. Robertson.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-03-12

A LEADING QUESTION WELL ANSWERED.
A reader of the Christian Union asks
the editor of that paper the following
question
Don't you admit that consistent
Universalist, despite your not believing
his doctrines, will as surely reach
heaven as any other Christian p''
The answer given is surprising, even
in this age of theological progress:
"The condition of reaching heaven is
sorrow for sin and seeking help from
God in abandoning it and conquering
it. He who complies with these condi-
tons has the promise of eternal life,
whatever his creed may be-"
The church to-day should have this
answer sounded in its ears with trum-
pet blast. Every sect is based upon a
creed, and instead of working together
to make men leave their sins, they are
working apart, each solicitous for the
success of it's peculiar doctrine. Belief,
not holiness, is the condition of saliva
ton in most of the churches of to-day.
Belief first then, il convenient, holt
ness; if not, still, because Of belief, the
sins shall be forgiven, and the penalty
escaped. And so we think this answer
is a decided step forward from the old
position.-S. L. IN Neao Theology Herald.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-03-12

ye resist not evil; but whomsoever shall
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to
him the other Also" By this it will be
seen that, although Christ quoted the
exact words of ian eye for an eye, and
a tooth for a tooth'' from the twenty
first chapter Of Exodus, and although
Its spirit of retaliation had been hand
ed down through the whole system of
the Jewish polity as the symbol of JUS
tice, instead of acknowledging it as di-
vineinspiration, in the expression, Eye
have heard that it hath been said," he
branded it as tradition which he for
babe his followers to respect or adhere
to.
All Scripture which breathes the
spirit of love to God, and love and good
will toward man, we are bound to re-
ceive as inspiration from God; but all
Scripture which clothes God in re-
vengeful light and breathes the spirit
of hatred and retaliation, we are bound
to reject as not in harmony with the
spirit of love, and therefore not given
by inspiration of God.
The gospel faith embaces nothing in
consistent with the happiness of the
believer. The doctrine of eternal pun
ishment ought to be spurned, because Of
its evil fruits. The heart and the con-
science alike refuse to believe it. The
imagination cannot conceive it. The
reason denies its justice. Rev. Albert
Barnes, in his practical Sermons"
2. 1913, says: "That any should suffer
forever-lingering on in hopeless des-
pair, and rolling amidst infinite tor
ments without the possibility of allie
Walton and without end. 4 1
have never seen particle of light that
has given a moments ease to my
tortured mind" Poor man He was
encased in the shell of creed. The
intelligence of this nineteenth century
demands more reasonable interpre-
tation of Gods dealings with man.
Goods mercy endureth forever" Are
we to understand this as implying that
there is dead line beyond which Gods
mercy cannot go? Is God a changea-
BILE being, that he should love all men
before death, but his love turn to hate
after death? When told that "God
will not cast off forever" must we in
fer from this, that he mays If par
tialists are right in assuming that death
is dead line shutting in Gods mercy,
was it not terrible mistake in the
Psalmist to say,"God's mercy endureth
forever" and repeat it twenty six
times in the same chapter for the sake
Of emphasizing this very fact
